When I attended a gun safety class I was around quite a few gun fetishists. The overwhelming opinion from most of these (scared, white) people was that there are bad people are lining up outside their house to break in to do bad things. Like that was their motivation for taking the class and spending hundreds of…

I will never go back to the games industry because nothing has changed since I left 10 years ago. Let the young kids with no family do mandatory 16 hour work days. I’m over that.

I’ve found a lot of “progressives” get so high up on their moral superiority that you can’t point out anything associated with another culture or race without them calling you a racist.

Me: “Man I love going to Chinatown and eating some authentic Chinese food.”
Them: “That’s so racist.”

Maybe their strategy is to…

Thank you for the book recommendation.

I hate vigilantes like this as they just come across as harassers and aren’t really helping the community they’re so graciously policing. If they’re offended then they should report the user and let the moderators do their job.

Interminable exposition? My favorite. I suppose that’s so the second one can bypass the origin story and have potential to actually be entertaining? Following the Marvel template I see.

Trying to be more realistic is no excuse for being boring. I expect to be entertained by my summer popcorn flick at least.

barf. Though I have the same problem with VR.

Screw Buffy. When is Firefly getting a revival?

I was going to post some examples of romance novel covers that objectify men. In actuality, those usually have a head and even a face. Fail.

Any time I hear Joyce referenced I recall the main character of Tom Robbins’ Fierce Invalids From Hot Climates. He frequently proclaims his love of Finnegans Wake yet somehow has never made it past the first page. I can only assume Ulysses is similar.

I came to the same conclusion for “Mahalo” after my visit to the less touristy parts of Hawaii.

oh, they were paying you in Exposure Bucks. I love that currency.

Am I the only one who was immensely bothered by the limited two-tone orange and teal color palette coupled with the endless array of artificial scenery shots. I’m not sure there’s single hint of green, red, or purple in the entire movie. Even the trees were blue.

Given how few of the best picture nominees I’ve actually heard of versus how many of these suggestions I’ve actually seen, no wonder I don’t pay attention to the oscars anymore. Is there another, more relevant film awards show I should care about instead?

well she does volunteer to go into the Zone or whatever it’s called because her significant other comes back lobotomized. I’m pretty sure her motivations were all about the men.

At least in Roadside Picnic they were looking for a wish-fulfilling mcguffin.

well, 80's new wave is terrible, so maybe you just don’t have anything to be nostalgic about.

I never played in the arcades because 50 cents per play just seemed too steep. I sucked at these games so I’d blow through my whole allowance in like 10 minutes. When my favorite arcade games started getting released on the NES (and the SNES later) I (my parents) could just buy the game for $50 and we had unlimited…

Currently on kindle for $6. I’ll take it. Though I don’t think amazon selling digital copies of most of their comics for way below list price is helping my local comic book store.

I gave up on the classic rock stations when I realized there’s about 10 billion other songs from the same time period that are just as good and will never get radio play. Plenty of women too, unsurprisingly.
